About

Dr. Greg Yanke is a pioneering scholar at the intersection of law, philosophy, and artificial intelligence, best known for his provocative exploration of human-AI relationships. His most-cited work, "Tying the knot with a robot: legal and philosophical foundations for human–artificial intelligence matrimony" (2020), has garnered 12 citations and established him as a leading voice in the emerging field of AI ethics and jurisprudence. In this groundbreaking paper, Yanke systematically examines the legal and philosophical underpinnings that would be required to recognize marriages between humans and artificial intelligences, challenging conventional notions of personhood, consent, and relational autonomy. His research pushes the boundaries of how we understand legal personhood in an age of increasingly sophisticated AI, offering a rigorous framework for considering whether and how such unions could be ethically and legally accommodated. By bridging speculative philosophy with concrete legal analysis, Yanke’s work has sparked vital interdisciplinary dialogue, influencing debates in AI ethics, family law, and the philosophy of mind. His contributions are essential reading for anyone grappling with the profound societal implications of advanced AI, making him a distinctive and thought-provoking figure in contemporary techno-legal scholarship.
